These prices barely cover the expense to

'still further to promote the cause which lies
so near to the hearts of all true Democrats.
Sutiue&ers can commence any time previous to

At these moderate figures it ought not to

COURTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
Katie Blake was the only daughter of Ja
cob Blake, the - old miser of West Brook.
She was more than uncommonly pretty,
and herikesh. engaging manners, enhanced
the charms of her golden hair, pretty teeth,
and eyes like the skies of summer. At her
father's death she would be. heiress to the
nice:4lWe sum of seventy thousand dollars,
and though men generally pretend not to be
influenced by pecuniary matters in affairs of
ion, it is to be reasonably supposed that this
prospective wealth by no means lessened the
number of her adorers.
Among the most ardent, and perhaps the
most sincere, was Will Dartmouth, with a
heart larger than his purse, and very little
thought or care ibr consequences.
Fortunately,. old Jacob never suspected the
wdality of his-daughter for Will ; he would
have put her on bread and water before he
would have consented to the slightest degree
of intimacy with Will Dartmouth.
Jacob Blake Will; not in _favor of marriage.
Those who knew his circumstances were not
surprised at this, for to use a pheasemore ex
pressive than elegant, Mrs. Blake was a • reg
ular Tartar, with temper enough for two
Tartars. .
Old Jacob had to "walk Spanish" for the
most part, or suffer the consequences, which
usually descended on his headan the shape of
any domestic utensils which happened to be
lying around handy.
A maiden sister of Mr.. Blake resided in the
family,Whose principal business seemed to
be to be to act as a sort of echo to her broth
er and his wife. Whatever they thought she
thought too.
She regarded it as a primary sin for Katie
to associate with the young men. and this
doctrine was preseveringly. drilled into her
niece, who, though she never dissented, had
her own ideas on the subject . -
One day Mr. Blake and his wife went to
Debham to attend a fair, and Bibs Peggy be
ing at a friends', Katie was left alone, Will
Dartmouth in some way learned' the condi
tion of affairs; and early in the afternoon he
came over s to keep Katie company.
nniii ihOlientitiy, .m 4 etr6„/XPeCted home
in the evening, Will felt perfectly seelirk - ti
stopping awhile after supper; , and he and
Katie were having a jolly time popping corn
in the old fashioned frying pan, over the huge
wood fire, when there was a sound of voices
at the door.
"Good gracious" cried Katie, turning
white with alarm, "that is Aunt Pews % Oh,
Will, what shall we do? She will scold me to
death ; and father will be furious. Get un
der the lounge, quick ! Oh, Will, do for my
sake
Will could not withstand the pleading in
Katie's eyes, and lie deposited himself in the
designated spot.
Katie put out the light, and darting Into
an adjacent bed room, in a moment was ap
parently asleep.
Peggy's voice was heard speaking softly in
the entry.
"Be careful, Mr. Pike. There's a loose
board there. I • don't want to disturb my
niece. Softly—it may creak."
"Peggy, dear, where are you r responded
the squealing voice of Esquire Pike, a wid
ower of a year. "I can't tell which way
you've gone."
"There, Daniel, be easy. Good Heavens!
Daniel Pike, well, I never l" and a report
burst on the air like uncorking a champagne
bottle.
"Oh, my.!" cried aunt Peggy, "what would
brother Jacob say . ? I declare, I hain't been
kissed by a man since_—"
"Let Jake mind his own business!" retort
ed the squire. "You and I can take care of
our's without his help;" and there followed
a report something similar to • the first, only
more of it.
"DO•be quiet, Daniel, and let nieget a light.
Set right down there afore the tire an, make
yourself to home."
A light was soon procured, Peggy divest
ed herself of her wrappings, and blushing
like a girl In her teens sat down opposite the
Squire. . •
"It's a fine evening," said Peggy, by the
way - of oßening the conversation.
"Very,' replied the Squire, drawing his
chaleclose to hers, and laying his arm over
the back.
"Oh, good gracious ! Daniel, don't set quite
so nigh me, I—that is, I don't consider it
strictly proper. Mercy ! what was that 1"
Both listened attentively.
"It was the wind rattling_ the window, I
guess," said the Squire. "Don't you go to
getting so nervous, Peggy."
"I thought it was our Kate waking up.
And ifthe should. I never would hear the
last of it."
"Hark There ie.a noise—l—"
"Ontelouti airth its bells. Its Jake and
warm coming bark! What shall Ido We
are done for !Oh, Squire. 'tetra right for us
to he nothing to 'tother. What shall we
do?"
"Tell me where' to go Peggy say the
'word, ill any where for your sake, if It's
up the chimney."
"Under the lounge quick! It's wide and
will hold you well enough. Quick! don't de
lay a minute."
The Squire obeyed, but the space 'was al
ready so well fillot that it was with difficulty
he could squeeze himself into so small a
compass. And just as he had succeeded, Mr.
Blake and his wife entered the room, floun
dering along in the dark, for PT had
deemed it best to extinguish the 1 t. Jake
made for the fi re, which still glow red with
coals, stumbled over a cricket, and fell head
long against Peggy, who was standing bolt
upright ; trying to collect her scattered
senses.
"The deuce," cried. Jake.- Looking, there,
old- woman, or you'll be down over me. It's
dark as a pocket here, and I've fell over the
rocking c slr,or the churn, Lean% tell which.
Hullo C what's this?" reaching Out his hand
to feel his situation, and coming in contact
with the bearded face of the Squhe. "BY
George ! its got "whiskers I Peg ! where are
you ? and where is Sate ? and what's all this
mean!"
The Squire did not relish the assault made
on his hirsute appendages, and by way of
retaliation, he gave a series of vig.orotts kicks,
-which hit Will Dastruouth in the region of
the stomach, and stirred his bile.
"Look here, old chap!" exclaimed_ he, "I
am perfectly willing to share my quarters
with you, seeing we're both in for it; but
yon had better not undertake to play that
again."
"Heavens!" 'ejaculated Peggy ;

scrambled 110, only to go Instantly down
again over a chair.
"Jake, where are you ? get tip this instant
and get a light, or I'll shake your breath out,
when I get my feet again."
Jake started to obey, and just then Tiger
the watch dog, who, hearing the uproar, had
managed to break loose froth' ebata,
red upon the scene, and let 'tip' bbi bear how

and appeared with a flaming tallow- dipa
Pew , flung her arras around the Squir e's
neek; with a cry of terror. and Jake, was si
lent with arnazement." Mrs. !Blake was the
only one • who .possessed her wits. She
seized the corn popper, and laid about her
'with vigor.
Her aim was not always correct, and in
comsequenft, she smashed the ktokitig-o , „lass
into* tiumsand amneurs, 'knocking drown
&W
the clack from the and demolishing two
bowls and a pitcher that were quietly repos
ing on the mate).
The Squire broke from Peggeti embrace,
and flashed out of the window. Will follow

him by the same outlet, but she was a little
too large to get through with ease.
A dreadful cotmsel was held ; Jake storm

b, and Kate confessed. And Juke and his
wife were so rejoiced at the 'prospect of get
ting rid of Peep , that they forgave their
daughter, and - took William • Dartmouth
home at the end of the year.
And In due time, Peggy and the Squire
were made one flesh.
Not Bad.
About forty years ago, there lived in West
tern Pennsylvania two farmers, named Wood
and Osborne respectively. They were near
neighbors but Inveterate enemies ; and it is
said they lived almost in sight of each other
for fourteen years without speaking to each
other. Wood went out one day with a mat
tock, to dig up half a dozen stumps that had
never been `removed from his meadow; but
finding it pretty hard work, and moreover,
not being very fond of work, he gave it up
and returned to the house. On the: way- it
occurred to him that, by a cunning ilevice,he
might Induce his unfriendly neighbor to up
root the little annoyances. Acting on a bright
idea that •occurred to him, he entered his
house, got his writing materials, and, in a dis
guised hand, wrote :
-
"Mn. Woos—l am an old man; fast ap
proaching my end, and ainnotgo to my grave
without revealing to you a secret. When I
was a young man I helped to rob your grand:
father of a laTe amount of money. I and
my partner in crime buried five thousand dol
lars of it under the roots of a tree in the
meadow that now belongs to you. No doubt
-these trees have been cut down by this time,
but the stumps may still remain. Ile was
soon after hanged for a murder that be com
mitted, and I wos sent to prison for highway
robbery. I was but lately released, and I
wish to do sill can to atone for past misdeeds.
I send this letter by n person who says he
knows where you live, and will throw it into
your house.
" A RErgsviirr thusuziAL."
'Mr. Wood sealed this bit of fiction; ad-.
dressed it to himself, and, when night came,
crept stealthily to Osborne's door, opened it
a little way, tossed it in, and ran away•as if
Satan were after him. On reaching home
ho retired to rest, and reposed sweetly till
morning. When he arose he cast a glance
towards his meadow, and to his satisfaction
discovered that every stump In his meadow
had been dug up during the night and pulled
out by the roots. After breakfast he went
coolly to work and rolled them together in a
pile, m order to burn them. And imagine
Osborne's bitterness of heart, as he passed by
on his way to the village that morning, and
knew he had been duped by them.
New Version of an Old Store-.
.A young man of Detroit who did not, up
to a day or two since, have much faith in the
supernatural, has become thlly persuaded
that there are ghosts in existence. He is
married, and himself and wife occupy rooms
in the second story of aboardin&• house. The
young man is in the habit of being out late
of nights occasionally, and amusing himself
about town, leaving Mrs. to her own

Lc", and thinking as we suppose on his hap
piness as a married man, well to do, and lo
cated on a pleasant street. An hour or two
slipped by, and he-was just about going to
bed, when a white object, between Ave and
six feet high flashed by him, disappeared
through the window with an exclamation
that sounded like vulgar English, and lit on
the sidewalk with an audible thud." It dis
appeared in the darkness, and was heard pat
tering down the street with its garments flap
ping in the wind. A search was instituted in
the dim light, and the wife was awakened
and told of the circumstances. She couldn't
explain, of course, but the inquisitive young
man struck a light arid hunted the room over
and over without finding anything to lead to
the discovery of his unceremonious visitor.
The belief begun to take possession of him
that he lived in a haunted house. Suddenly
he espied on a chair in a dark corner, a suit
of men's clothes that he knew never belonged
to him. A further search revealed a pair of
boots, a handsome necktie, and other little
trifles he hadn't seen before. He can't believe
that some mysterioni spirit has made him, a
present, and don't think burglars are inclined
to leave valuable' dry goods and sail out of
windows like white bats, and would, there

Barran rums Durum-A husband in
Clyde, Wayne county, N. Y., has for a wife
the daughter of most respectable parents,
who was amply provided with earthly neces
saries and luxuries. The business occupation
of the husband demanded his frequent ab
sence from the village, and for several days
at a time. Of late, several mysterious move
ments of his wife, coupled with the assur
ances of a friend that she was acting indisi
erectly, induced him to give out thatte was
again going away. He did not do so, but at
a late hour of the night he gained ingress to
his house, to the bed room of his wife, whom
be found in the arms of an intimate friend 9 .
What did this injured husband do? ho
send a bullet through their wicked hearts ?
No. Drawing a pistol (he was a determined
man, and the guilty ones knew it); he de-.
minded of his wife if she loved her paramour
sufficiently well to live with him. With ter
ror, perhaps mingled with truth, she answer
ed that she did. The same question addressed
to the roue extorted the same admission.
t Then," said the husband, with pistol in
hand, "on your knees, sir ; swear by the
God above and who is witness, that you will
support her well and always provide for her;
that you will never misuse or abandon her ;
that-you will not marry another during her
lifetime." The guilty libertine took the oath
when the husband commanded them to get
up and dress themselves. When this was
accomplished he again addressed them:—
"Now, go! Go out of the horse you both
came in, through the front door— ut don't
either of you ever cross my threshol or my
path in life." And they went gut in the mid
night gloom and the gloom of their own
guilty consciences. Whither they went is
not known, and the husband is quite indiffer
ent about the matter.
